Senior Mechatronics Engineer — Advanced Laboratory Robotics

Be a key member of the Advanced Robotics & Data Orchestration Team building and sustaining the mechanical electrical and control systems that turn instruments and robots into reliable reusable push-button workflows for Alexions Product Development & Clinical Supply organization. Help transform our multimodality product development labs from manual time intensive workflows into an automated scalable and scientist-friendly ecosystem by designing and commissioning work cells integrating devices and sensors and partnering with Lab Orchestration and Data Engineering experts to improve uptime safety and data integrity.Help us accelerate life-changing therapies to patients with rare and ultra-rare diseases.

This is what you will do:

• Design integrate and commission robotic work cells and lab automation subsystems (conveyors gantry/robot arms end-of-arm tooling enclosures and safety systems).

• Interface instruments and sensors (I/O controllers industrial connectivity) and implement verification using vision and sensor fusion whereappropriate.

• Collaborate with Lab Orchestration experts on state models exception handling and recovery patterns;validatetiming interlocks and recipe steps on live systems.

• Support material-flow mechanics with Lab Orchestration & Material Management experts (kitting staging pick and place chain of custody).

• Create andmaintainelectrical and mechanical drawings requirements specifications risk assessments andvalidationdocumentation and testing (factory/site installation/operational).

• Troubleshoot live issues drive root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions; improve reliability metrics (mean-timebetween failures and mean-time torepair first-pass yield).

• Partner with scientists and operators on usability and ergonomics; train users and provide daytwoenablement.

You willbe responsible for:

• Commissioning work cells that meet safety reliability and usability targets.

• Accurate drawings documentation and validation artifacts suitable for audit sensitive environments.

• Integrationquality (signal integrity interlocks calibration) and sustained performance against agreed reliabilityobjectives.

• Continuous improvement of uptime material flow reliability error/rerun reduction and operator experience.

You will need to have:

• Education/experience: PhD 0 years or MS 4 years or BS 8 years in Mechanical Electrical Mechatronics or related engineering (or equivalent experience)including4years integrating robots and instruments with control systems safety and sensors in lab or industrial automation.

• Hands onexperience with motion systems machine guarding vision/sensing and creating electrical/mechanical drawings.

• Strong cross functional collaboration with lab orchestration specialists software engineers data engineers operators and scientists

• The duties of this role may require periodic work in a laboratory or manufacturing environment. As is typical of such roles employees must be able with or without an accommodation to: lift/carry 15/30 pounds unassisted/assisted; work comfortably in a controlled environment with and around hazardous materials; gown/degownPPE; use a computer; engage in communications via phone video and electronic messaging; engage in problem solving and non-linear thought analysis and dialogue; collaborate with others; maintain general availability during standard business hours.

We wouldpreferfor you to have:

• Experience with device integration and verification in lab work cells including vision/sensing for part/sample detection robot safety systems and common lab instrument interfaces (serial/Ethernet digital/analog I/O).

• Familiarity with data integrity and regulated lab practices and with reliability practices (telemetry alarms service levelobjectives) and structuredpostmortems.

In person working statement:

When we put unexpected teams in the same room we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspirelifechangingmedicines.Inpersonworking gives us the platform we need to connect work at pace and challengeperceptions.That iswhy we work on average a minimum of four days per week from the office. We balance this expectation while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.
